Impact of dining out frequency on the risk of colorectal cancer: insights from a large Chinese cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dining out has been shown to be associated with various negative health outcomes. However, the evidence concerning the relationship between dining out of home and the risk of colon and rectal cancers remains limited.

Methods

We included a total of 42,286 participants aged between 20 and 60 years in this study, who underwent physical examinations at five large public hospitals located in Zibo, Shandong Province, China, from 2010 to 2022. Cox regression models were utilized to evaluate the association between the frequency of dining out and the risk of colon and rectal cancers, employing hazard ratios (HR) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) functions were applied to estimate the dose-response relationship. S
